To all 'whomz't may concern:

Be it known that we, PETER Connie FLAG.-` sran and 'Osoan A. FLAGSTAD,citizens of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county ofRamsey and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Machinefor of which the followingisa specification.

Our invention relates to devices for molding and baking hollow pastrycones; and the Objectis to provide a machine of said kind withcertainimprovements, which will fully appear from the herei below descriptionand claims; reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which,-

Figure 1 is a top or plan view of the improved device. Fig. 2 is'asideelevation. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line a-a in Fig. 2. Figf is adetail of the upper' `left hand portion of the structure -showu in Fig.

3 modified. Fig. 5 is a left hand end view of the handle and journals inFig. #1. Fig. 6 is a detail of a portion of the. structure shown in Fig.2 modified.

Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, 1 designates a benchupon which is mounted a gas stove casing 2, having in its base a burner3. and injits upper edge oppositely disposed open bearings 4, in whichrotate the divided or split journals 5 of a pair of plates 6, 7, ofwhich plate 6 is provided with conio molds 8 and plate 7 with coniccores 9 adapted to fit in the molds with ,spaces 10 between each coreand its mold for the pastry to be molded and baked in. The journals ofthe mold plate 6 are each provided with a hook 11 adapted to catch undera stud'12 fixed in the side of the I stove casing to hold the plate downwhen the core plate `7 -is pulled upward. therefrom after the plates arestuck together by the backed pastry. AThe journals of th e core plate'areeach provided-with a reduced extension 13, one of which is in Figs.1, 2 and- 3 shown to be provided with a handle 14e .by which to rotatethe plates 'attheir journals. ,To rearward projections 15 of the stovecasing are pivoted at 16`the branches of a bifurcated lever 17, whosefree end forms a single arm or handle 18, which is adaptedto be forciblyWard a horizontal arm 20 fixed to the frontside of the stove casing.

Each branch of the' lever is provided with an inverted open bearing 21arranged to bear upon the upper side of one of the split.

.that vgrasps the two held by a ring 19 tol journals 5; and near saidbearing each branch carries an outward offset. arm 22 provided with anotch 23 adapted to engage the under side of the extension 13 and liftthe core plate when the lever is being raised; there is however someplay between the notch and the extension 13, so as to permit the leverto make a blow upward against the extension and thereby start the platesfrom each other when they are stuck together by thebaked pastry.

In Fig. 4 the handleby which the plates are rotated is so modified thateach half journal at one end of each hook-shaped half handle 1K1 both ofwhich have wedge-shaped extremities overlapping upon. each other as bestshown at 24 in Fig. 5:- theobject of this is toenable the hand handlesto turn both plates and thereby avoid the tendency a single handle onone plate would haveto change the correct relative position of theplates when they are partly separated by paste so that the dow'el-'pins25 can not fully guide them. When said modified handles are `employed,the straight portion 14a of the handle member on the mold plate contactswith the lower side ofthe arm or hanger 22 before the handle 14 can beturned fully downward when the plates are to be inverted during thebaking; to make such contactuuobstructive, the arm 22 may be pivoted at26 to the lever as shown in Fig. 2) so as to swing .slightly upward whentouched by the the latter is turned away again, the weight of the armcauses it toresume normal position wit-h the hook 27 engaging beneaththe -lower'edge of that branch of the lever.

In Fig. 6 is shown at 13X the extension of the journal of the core platesegmental in cross section and thus having a groove 1n its under sil'defora rounded portion 28 of the arm 22x 'to engage in' and raise theplate. In all the modified forms it will be seen that it is the rotationof the journal 5 that causes the hooks 11 to engage the pins 12, andthe'A projections of the journals ofthe core plate to-engage lever. l Inthe dperation of the machine, when the gas stove is lighted and thevmoldand core plates heatedl by the gas flame, the. operator raises admit'thepaste into the molds, whereupon he lowersthe core plate upon the lplate,
